Random bumps on my Yorkie's head A few days ago I noticed what looks like a large zit on the top of my Meiko's head. It's hard and not a zit. The next day I noticed a second one near the first one. Now today there's one on his snout. What on earth is going on? I know the one on his snout was not there this morning. Has anyone experienced this. Does anyone have any ideas? :confused: |
Could possibly be warts...or, it could just be sebaceous gland cysts, which are very common in dogs. They can be left alone, or, if they continue to grow and grow you'd want to get it removed. My Marcel gets the cysts and we've had a few removed. |
Thank you for the post. We are taking him to the vet just to be safe. I always like to be safe rather than sorry. Will keep you posted! |
Teddy has an almost pea sized bump on his cheek area of his face. He paws at it a lot. The vet is removing it next month when he gets his dental. Daisy had a bump on her snout that looked like a zit. It looked like I could pop it but I wanted the vet to look at it since it was on her face. It popped when he was looking at it. He called it a cyst. Now she has a little scab there. I guess I don't need to worry about every little bump but I do anyway. |
I was wondering about the possibility of ant bites.. |
Any update on what the issue was? |
Do they look a bit like miniature chickenpox that then crust over? Our yorkie/maltese cross gets these bumps on her head and face every spring, and the vet has told us that they are an allergic reaction, more likely to grass or pollen, possibly mold once the snow has melted and exposed the fall leaves. The first time I saw them I thought it was some kind of insect bite or fungal infection, but all the scrapings the vet did were negative. They don't seem food related since she only gets them in the spring and early summer. They itch a lot because she is always rubbing her face to get relief, which only inflames them more. We usually treat them with a topical prescription cream and also benedryl, but I didn't have to use it this year and can't remember the name of the cream. Good luck, hopefully your vet can figure it out! |
Macy used to have a bump on her ear, but it disappeared. Any updates?? |
